"He is really talented but soft and doesn't play very strong," the scout
told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "I've been in there three years in a row and have never seen him practice. Guy's always hurt." Ogbuehi started for about three-and-a-half collegiate seasons. He tore an ACL in the Aggies' bowl game and had surgery about six weeks ago. Ogbuehi believes he'll play next season. Mar 2 - 12:39 AM

TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline notes that Texas A&M T Cedric Ogbuehi's 2014 struggles were based on his poor acclimation to right tackle after a mid-season shift.

"I was told the offensive lineman really struggled moving from the right tackle to left tackle," Pauline wrote. "The stance and set-up threw him for a loop in the early part of the campaign but it was brought to my attention that Ogbuehi played well on the left side late in the year." The 6-foot-5, 305-pounder is graded as a first-rounder by ESPN's Todd McShay. Rotoworld's Josh Norris is similarly a big fan of Ogbuehi. Feb 23 - 9:24 PM

Texas A&M T Cedric Ogbuehi "needs to show that he at least has more weight-room strength than people think" at the combine, wrote NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein.

"Ogbuehi tore his ACL in the Aggies' bowl game, so he's limited in what he can do as he recovers from the injury," Zierlein wrote. "He has said he intends to participate in the bench press, though. Teams want to know that he's strong, and I think the bench press is a huge opportunity for him. People think he has a problem with functional strength." Rotoworld's Josh Norris is a fan of Ogbuehi, but believes the tackle needs to work on his punch timing and placement.

Texas A&M T Cedric Ogbuehi said he will bench press at the NFL Combine despite tearing his ACL in the school's bowl game.

Ogbuehi said he tore his ACL in the third quarter but did not realize the significance and finished the contest. He expected a sprained MCL, but once arriving at his pre-Combine training an MRI revealed the torn ACL. Rotoworld's Josh Norris is a huge fan of Ogbuehi, and believes the tackle needs to work on his punch timing and placement. Feb 5 - 1:17 PM
